Households in Canberra need hot water to conduct a number of daily tasks. Almost 16% of the energy consumption in Canberra is hot water that is used in bathrooms, in the kitchen, and also for washing clothes in the laundry. In order to get Hot Water Canberra, residences have the choice to select from a variety of hot water systems. Some of the common ones are:

1. Electric heaters
2. Gas heaters
3. Solar heaters.

This differentiation is based on the fuel that is used for heating the water. In the first case, it is electricity; in the second, it is LPG or natural gas; and in the third case, it is the sun’s energy that is used to heat the water.
Further, differentiation in water heaters is done based on the way the heated water is sourced. One is the storage hot water systems that have a tank where the heated water gets collected; while the other, is the instantaneous or the continuous or the instant system where the hot water is generated only when the tap is opened for hot water or the electric supply is switched on.

Features of the instant electric hot water system

Electric heaters, as is evident from the name use electricity to heat water. One of the main decisions that you need to take when buying an electric water heater for your home is to choose between an instant system and the storage system.

The instant water heater is available in the electrical and gas models. The working concept of the heater makes it much more energy-efficient than the storage-type hot water systems.

How does it work?

When the hot water tap is turned on, water goes to the heating system where a sensor present on the system detects the flow of water. The digital circuitry automatically starts the burner that starts to heat the water flowing through the exchanger. From the heat exchanger, the hot water flows out of the tap. Once the tap is turned off, then the hot water generation mechanism is stopped.

Some of the distinct advantages of the instant electric hot water system are

• Access to a continuous stream of hot water;
• Since this system works on the instant mode, hence, the water heating process consumers lesser power and electricity. Thus, your electric bills at the end of the cycle are cheaper than the storage electric hot water system.
• With no separate storage tank, the entire unit consumes lesser space. They are designed to be compact so that they do not occupy too much space.
• The instant water heaters are more reliable and durable with a good sound lifespan. If you decide to go in for the gas counterpart, the lifespan of the equipment is further enhanced.

Whether it is the installation, repair, or servicing of the instant electric hot water system, it is critical that you have an experienced plumber working on the job so that the task is completed efficiently and that the system stays strong and robust throughout its lifespan.
